05:39 HovPod Hovercraft

Small Patrol Hovercraft

Small assault hovercraft are helping improve homeland security in areas where conventional vehicles are restricted by shallow waters, mangrove swamps, mud, sand, ice, and snow.

Small assault hovercraft allow two operatives with military equipment to quickly travel over any flat surface at speeds of up to 45 mph. The Hov Pod SPX, manufactured from HDPE, is a rugged 2 man craft that requires minimal training – it can be towed by conventional transport or dropped by parachute into combat zones for rapid deployment.

These smaller hovercraft are far cheaper than conventional military hovercraft, so allow military budgets to be spread over a wider area to patrol coastal border areas.

Patrol Hovercraft

Hovercraft are extremely useful for patrolling coastal or river areas to maintain security and prevent attack. 2 man hovercraft are far more affordable than larger hovercraft and a small fleet of smaller hovercraft can deter insurgents over a wider area. Hovercraft provide a very stable platform, so unlike boats that provide a bumpy ride, hovercraft allow security forces to aim weapons far more accurately. Hovercraft do not have propellers so are not damaged by submerged rocks or tree roots. Hovercraft can even drive over a beach or mudflats.

Military Hovercraft

The Mumbai attacks have forced military chiefs to rethink their border defence strategy. The ten terrorists travelled by sea from Pakistan, hijacked the Indian fishing trawler 'Kuber', killing the crew, and then entered Mumbai on a rubber dinghy. The terrorists reportedly killed 173 people and wounded 308. The Urdu-speaking men in inflatable speedboats came ashore at two locations. They reportedly told local fishermen to "mind their business" before they split up and headed two different ways. The fishermen's subsequent report to police received little response. Border patrols have now been stepped up, and military chiefs are now considering the purchase of new hovercraft able to patrol the inland waters and mangrove swamps.
